Hi,
Bump with difficulty in swallowing need urgent evaluation. This may be growth. It may be pressing on your food pipe or problem in your food pipe that has come out like a bump.
In both cases, it's very necessary to be assessed. So have an urgent appointment with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
